De Lucinière Castle, Medieval castle in Joué-sur-Erdre, France.

The castle features three remaining turrets from its original construction, along with a chapel containing family tombs and an orangerie with wooden decorations.

Pierre Landais acquired the fortified castle from the Montfort-Laval family in 1485, when it was known as Roche-en-Nort.

André Le Nôtre, the gardener of Versailles, supervised modifications to the castle between 1681 and 1682, adding a central block and fronton.

The chapel, orangerie, and dining room of Château de Lucinière received official registration as historical monuments on December 9, 1985.

During World War II, castle owners Adolphe Le Gualès de Mézaubran and his wife protected Jewish families, earning the Medal of the Righteous among Nations.
